Hello I have a couple of computers that are working ok using squeeze + squeeze-backports.
I wanted to run wheezy on one of the computers, but a serious bug in the bluetooth module firmware prevents the computer from restarting properly. I want to debug this feature without having to wipe out my existing squeeze installation which works well. So far I've tested recent kernels and other features of wheezy using a usb-debian-live image. It appears, however, that there's a fix, or at least a more detailed debug log fix in kernel > 3.3-rc1. However this kernel is unlikely to make it to wheezy (it appears the kernel team is leaning towards 3.2). I compile kernels from upstream sources all the time, but I don't know how to FORCE lb-config and lb-build to boot my customized kernel instead of the one mainline. Can you give me some pointers? (I've never set-up an APT repository... I would prefer to avoid this unless it's the only way). Even if I wait for it to appear in experimental (which seems like a reasonable option to me), how do I go about forcing this version instead of the one in wheezy or sid for that matter? The other computer works great, but I get no audio over HDMI despite installing a very recent kernel from backports. It appears the bug is corrected in alsa in wheezy and I want to test this. However, to fully test HDMI out on this computer, I need to have the nvidia non-free kernel modules installed. On top of that it also requires the broadcom-sta out of tree module for wifi. What do you guys recommend for this? For this second computer, I guess installing wheezy isn't problematic... or at least I don't know, but I would love to test carefully before deciding to upgrade I'm not subscribed to this list, so if you could cc that would be great.
